The original release of the DOOM 3 source code on GitHub was done by Timothee 'TTimo' Besset on November 22, 2011. To properly maintain the metadata between the various forks on GitHub since then and the creation of the id-Software GitHub account on January 31, 2011, I've forked TTimo's repository and then forced a hard reset to the first commit.

This guide lists all of the levels in DOOM 3, including its expansions 'Resurrection of Evil' and 'The Lost Mission', in order. The map filenames are listed so that any level can be selected and played using the map console command. Doom 3 is still a fun game to play. The shooter gameplay is solid and responsive, particularly as developer id Software has ensured the player can turn on their light and shoot at the same time.
Despite its numbering, DOOM 3 is not a follow-up title to DOOM 2, but a reboot of the entire DOOM franchise. Developed by id Software and released in 2004, the game reintroduces players to the iconic story and world of the DOOM series. It's full of hellish demons, darkly lit levels, and gory gunplay. As literal Hell breaks loose on the planet of Mars, it's up to the player to repel the demonic threat and save humanity. With an assortment of overpowered weaponry, you'll take the role of a super soldier, ripping and tearing through hordes of otherworldly creatures.
The story in DOOM 3 is very similar to the original game, but with some modern trimmings. Like the first game, DOOM 3 takes place on the planet Mars. On Mars, dangerous science experiments have accidentally opened a portal to Hell, spilling demons out onto the red planet. DOOM 3 tells a similar story, but it does so in a more modern ways. As you explore the various levels in the game, you'll encounter characters who will provide you with information and narrative exposition. As the unnamed space marine, you'll meet a variety of characters (both good and bad) as you make your way through the game's creepy levels. Some characters give you directions and help by speaking to you via radio, while others taunt and scare you with their supernatural powers.
Doom 3
When it comes down to gameplay, DOOM 3 provides players with the same great bloody action the DOOM franchise is known for. The game is still broken up into levels, filled with hordes of enemies. In each stage, you must navigate through the darkly lit areas, blasting enemies with your weapons as they leap from the shadows. DOOM 3's focus on story makes the pacing feel a bit more deliberate and slow, which is a decent change from the surprisingly fast-paced original games. There's a bigger horror element in DOOM 3, with a handful of scripted scares. Generally speaking, the game is meant to utterly creep you out. When you're not hearing the sounds of gunshots, you'll likely hear the terrified screams of the trapped and dying scientists around the planet.
Although the game is a bit slower than other DOOM titles, things still feel visceral and fast thanks to the weapon offerings. There are ten different weapons to find and utilize, and they range in both power and utility. Fans of DOOM will enjoy the classic Chainsaw, Shotgun, and BFG-9000 weapon. The rest of your arsenal is filled out by other expected firearms, like sub-machine guns, assault rifles, pistols, and more. There's also a few fun experimental weapons, which vaporize your enemies and cause a ton of damage. In addition to the single player mode, you can also wield these weapons in the four-player multiplayer mode. There are four different types of competitive modes to try out, which nicely compliments the single player campaign.
Overall, DOOM 3 is an interesting and exciting reboot of the DOOM franchise. It's not as fast-paced as the original two games, but it provides the same amount of intensity and horror. The improved graphics make things even more terrifying, and the attention to storytelling fleshes out the world. The inclusion of multiplayer adds plenty of replay ability, and the lengthy single player campaign will surely please. If you're a fan of horror, mayhem, and fun gunplay, then DOOM 3 is a great pick.
